Is that the one set on a suburban block where the power goes out or something?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 21 May 2019 21:10 (five years ago) link
They go to a dinner party, power goes out and then only appears to come back on in their house. They then see another in the distance and go to look, boxes with Polaroids turn up outside.

It's Bruno is an entirely enjoyable series. Helps that each episode is only 15 minutes long so you can watch the entire thing in about 2 hours.

Dead To Me probably the best thing i've seen this year. Applegate in particular just monumental
that said, there appears to be a commissioning requirement for endless real estate porn in Netflix's "female noir thriller" genre

The Perfection is nasty and dumb.

I really enjoyed it. Christina Applegate is the greatest.
― trishyb, Saturday, 25 May 2019 10:34 (five years ago) link
a show like that, a role like that - it's what actors dream about. I've always liked her but i had no idea she had that in her. her co-star outstanding too of course.
― Lil' Brexit (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 25 May 2019 10:55 (five years ago) link
agreed, Christina Applegate is tremendous in it. Enjoyed James Marsden playing against type too.
― Roz, Saturday, 25 May 2019 11:52 (five years ago) link
I particularly enjoyed how they included a lot of the elements of fairly standard women's drama -- breast cancer, troubled teenagers, childlessness -- in a non-standard way.

I keep wondering how far Jen will go to forgive Judy. I assumed she asked Judy to come back so that Judy could pretend to have witnessed Jen asking Steve to leave, so as to provide a casus belli for killing him. Judy will do it, she'll do anything at this point it seems. And I can understand feeling, hey, Judy would have gone back. Steve pressured her into it. Fine. But Judy did all kinds of things in the course of the show that just heaped more pain onto Jen. Incredibly selfish stuff in ever more tortuous attempts at avoidance, almost all of which redounded on Jen. That's the stuff I feel like it's hard to forgive - not the actual hit and run

I watched Synchronicity against my better judgment, it was very very extremely awful although admittedly I liked some of what they were trying to do

Have you guys watched the Bash Brothers thing from the Lonely Island? LMAO.
― DJI, Sunday, 26 May 2019 16:15 (five years ago) link
This show contains product placement.
― shhh / let peaceful like things (wins), Sunday, 26 May 2019 19:55 (five years ago) link
disagree about the Perfection, it is nasty for sure, but I thought it was a bit clever.
― akm, Sunday, 26 May 2019 20:18 (five years ago) link
I watched Bash Brothers. I recommend being high.
― Yerac, Sunday, 26 May 2019 20:20 (five years ago) link
two truths
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 27 May 2019 00:57 (five years ago) link
oh shit I watched bash brothers SOOOO high last night and it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen (also the music is really good). my wife was not high and did not grow up in the east bay during the late 80's and therefore it did not resonate with her.
― akm, Monday, 27 May 2019 16:19 (five years ago) link
I watched the first ten minutes and had to stop. It was a huge amount of effort for a premise that I couldn't relate to.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 27 May 2019 16:27 (five years ago) link
it's only 29 minutes long, you were a 1/3 of the way to the end!
― akm, Monday, 27 May 2019 16:30 (five years ago) link
It was a looooong 10 minutes, and I was high!
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 27 May 2019 16:32 (five years ago) link
I really did not understand the Joe Montana thing at the end. Which is partly my fault that I was trying to find meaning in it.

This Wanda Sykes stand-up special is excellent.

Enjoying their musical series ReMaster — the docs about Sam Cooke, Victor Jara, and The Lion Sleeps Tonight have all been very informative and needed. Would recommend!
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 27 May 2019 21:36 (five years ago) link
Oh yeah, I watched the Victor Jara one a couple of weeks ago. It was good although some of the interviews made me really mad with the blatant lying.
― Yerac, Monday, 27 May 2019 22:22 (five years ago) link
Lying is par for the course unfortunately :(Just noticed that the one about Johnny Cash is directed by Barbara Koppel! Good series overall!!
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 27 May 2019 22:37 (five years ago) link
i thought wanda's jokes were probably 3/4 kind of generic and obvious political commentary (it doesn' thelp that with people doing topical stuff, for netflix specials, which don't air for another six months or something, the material seems a little stale by the time you see it). her delivery saves it though and some of it (mainly the non topical stuff) was great.

re: stand up on Netflix: the new anthony jeselnik special is pretty funny (maybe not as funny as his first one). iliza shlesinger is fucking dire, why is this lady huge?
― akm, Monday, 27 May 2019 23:48 (five years ago) link
i have a deep aversion to Jeselnick but he is v handsome
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 28 May 2019 03:16 (five years ago) link
Jeselnick is pretty much garbage as far as I've ever been able to see
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 28 May 2019 03:48 (five years ago) link
Jeselnik is a fantastic joke writer, but if you can't get on board with the stage character, that's probably never going to work for you

is that on netflix in some places?
― akm, Tuesday, 28 May 2019 21:49 (five years ago) link
Sorry, no, it was mentioned upthread but think it's on Amazon Prime; also bbc for Britishers
― kinder, Tuesday, 28 May 2019 21:53 (five years ago) link
it's on FX in the US.
― akm, Tuesday, 28 May 2019 22:30 (five years ago) link
it's on hulu in US, not on prime/netflix
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 29 May 2019 00:12 (five years ago) link
Only if you have hulu + live TV
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 29 May 2019 02:32 (five years ago) link
right. Which I'm arguing for! I just cut the cable and here's the breakdown for anyone considering doing the same:Hulu + Live TV with no ads + 200 hour Cloud DVR is $61; this covers basic cable pretty neatlyStandard Netflix is $12HBO is $15, Showtime is $11Prime Membership is $120 a yearMubi is $100 a yearCriterion is $100 a yearKanopy is free, as is PBSHi speed internet is about $70 monthly$250 gets you a reasonable smart tv to watch it all on via an ethernet connection. I'm pretty happy so far.

We cut the cord last year. Was paying over £70 a month with Sky for Broadband but now paying £30 a month with BT for Super Fast Fibre plus BT Sport.Bought a Freesat box to cover the record/pause live TV option and already had Netflix/Prime.Anything else is via internet.

Just finished Dead to Me. It was fucking fantastic. Hope it's just 1 season though. Roles of a lifetime for the two leads.
― dan selzer, Friday, 31 May 2019 02:44 (four years ago) link
I only have had netflix and prime for the last couple of years. I pay for student prime that they gave me ($59?) because they seem to think I am a student because I used to ship things to university addresses.
I haven't paid for cable since i was in college. The internet served every purpose.

‘Always be my maybe’ was fun for a romcom and features Keanu Reeves getting punched in the face. Fun for all the family.

A ''what's your streaming setup?" thread would be great. Or do we already have that somewhere?

Keanu was a gd delight in that movie.
(there was a weird amount of screentime for that Nest thermostat though.)

I've been watching The Society, halfway through and I still can't tell most people apart. I laugh every time my spouse identifies one as Clark or Grizz. I don't like this Corey Feldman/tall Jonathan Lipnicki looking mofo though.
